Unfortunately, the testing company were Australian and the letter was upside down so I couldn't read it.

I wish to fcuk there was a law against anyone using the phrase ‘new normal’. Please, in the name of anything, make them insert the word ‘temporary’ in front of it. What a weird thing to get worked up about. 10 minutes ago, Steven W said: Apologies if I'm mis-reading things (every possibility) but, Re construction work re-starting. That's I believe in Phase 1 I think. (Outdoor work) I think that factories is in phase 2. (Non office work) However most of construction work involves assembling things that were made in factories. Doesn't quite go hand in hand with one another. Am I right here? (I appreciate she couldn't go gung ho and have everything open up next week, but construction will be difficult with nothing to construct) Manufacturing factories were never forced to close though, they were told if they couldn't create safe working spaces then they would need to furlough staff, but as I said earlier most factories will have been operating in some shape or form if they've been able to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkthebigclub Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I was lying. I took the antibody test* and I'm now being pursued by the authorities, on suspicion of stealing vital medical equipment. *The test was intended for Captain Tom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that's not right. NS explicitly said that unless you were involved in the fight against Covid-19 then you should close. Hence why factories are included in the lockdown exit document. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right with that. But building sites are required to be kept clean and tidy and have little manufactured products lying around on site that could present a hazard. There will be some gear on the sites ready to go up, but there won't be 3 weeks worth (at least there shouldn't be!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company makes electrical equipment and we closed down for 1 week before opening again with social distancing measures in place. We aren't supplying any equipment in the fight against COVID. I don't know of any factory in this industrial estate which has closed down for the duration of lockdown either. As long as you can prove you were providing a safe place to work you could stay open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isn't it the case as being merely the First Minister of Scotland, quite often she can only *advise* on a lot of things? (2014 to thank for to that ) Any decent minded employers in construction and manufacturing have been shut.

Most decent minded employers have done what is necessary to keep their staff with an income. For some that meant closing down/furlough, for others it meant putting measures in place so they can work safely. I really don't think we'll have much problem ramping work up at factories and construction sites again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
